Timo Tolkki performing Stratovarius

In October 2026, Finnish guitarist, songwriter and producer Timo Tolkki tours Europe with a live show dedicated to the classic Stratovarius repertoire. Tolkki was the creative force behind Stratovarius for many years, writing and producing most of the work that made the band one of the defining names in European power metal during the 1990s and 2000s.

The programme features songs such as 'Black Diamond', 'Hunting High and Low', 'Forever', 'Father Time', 'Visions' and 'The Kiss of Judas'. Tolkki performs these classics with an international band of experienced rock and metal musicians.

The band:
TIMO TOLKKI - Guitar (Stratovarius / Revolution Renaissance / Avalon)
TITTA TANI - Vocals (Claudio Simonetti's Goblin / David Ellefson)
FRANCESCO CAPORALETTI - Bass (Michael Angelo Batio / Tim "Ripper" Owens)
ALESSIO PALIZZI - Drums (Tim "Ripper" Owens / Doogie White)
